Thanks, a lot OK. This seems to be an exact answer. What I actually asked above, was the question if it is enough to just change (using a text editor) the lines in /boot/config-2.2.17 into something else (eg 'y' to 'm', eg that ide-scsi line) without compiling completely a new kernel. I'm a bit lazy to compile the whole kernel (I've done it a couple of times years ago and I know that will take time.) I actually tried to just load a new kernel image and was assuming that it would solve the whole problem. That will not take any long time. Maybe it will, I will see it today. I know that some time this cd-rom burner has been working with this system, (and I'm confused what have happened with the system) and just now I'm a little bit busy to get this system hardware working relatively completely and later I'll have time to compile the kernel to make the system really well working.
